Emerald Fist Chaos Terminators (Nurgle) Done!

I finished up my nurgle terminators and finished basing them! Now I can move along to my next project. I'm also obviously looking into some land raider transports for all of my Emerald Fists. My end goal is that everyone has a transport in the army. Even the jump pack marines will air craft to jump from. People need goals right?!

To paint these, I used the same method for the rest of the army, basecoat dhenab stone (Rakarth flesh now) followed by a zenital of wych flesh. Overtop of this it is washed HEAVILY with devlan mud and then drybrush with wych flesh followed by skull white. The armor is sponged for damage and washed in places for running pools of oil/grease. The rusty spots use GW texture paint followed by brown and orange highlights.

I've decided to do all of my future power weapons for this army with lightning effect and this squad had ample bits to practice on. The blues were painted on in lightning patterns in successive lighter colours then washed with blue followed by skull white lines at the junction points.

I didn't want this guy's face to stand out a lot and wanted him to be faded and old looking. His skin is melding with his armour so I felt this was suitable. I can't stop seeing vader's bare head in this model.

I had a lot of these blade things from an earlier project when I was thinking of doing 1000 sons. I salvaged this one and thought it gave a distinct look to the model. Three of these terminators (the ones with CSM legs) have been extended 2 mm in the feet and at the waste giving them almost 1/4" more height than standard terminators. Paired with these scenic bases they dwarf my plague marines which is sweet.

This model is exceptionally unique in terms of anything I, or likely most people, have ever painted in that she's slightly postpartum. I stuck with the artwork again, in order to contrast her from the white speakers. I also tried out a different painting technique for the skin. Usually I'm pretty lazy and drybrush and wash to get the tones, but on her since she has a lot of flesh, I didn't think it would work well (see the white speaker below for comparison). On this I did some gradual highlights with 2 colours (talarn flesh and elf flesh) and some various mixes in between.

Finished the People of the Stars with their rare loot. Since these are static posed I was pretty limited on how they held the weapons. During the campaign these figures can be used to represent characters with Dragon Vestments. You can see I followed the concept art. I find doing so helps my players identify characters better as well during game play because it matches stories and gear cards in front of them.

This model is awesome. One of the most fun things I've painted in a while due to the different types of textures I put on it. The base from Scibor is also awesome. The faces really fit the Kingdom Death theme. I did order some flowers off ebay to further adorn the base but they were lost in the mail, sadly. The in game encounter for this guy is also awesome and has really good items so I'll probably include him in most campaigns.

With some slightly better lighting and all of the details picked out, I think you can see the armour sheen a bit better. I've put a few angles to show it. When the light is directly on it it's more purple, and turns green/blue at an angle.

I'm going to start a little break from Kingdom Death with a Blood Bowl segment. My wife bought me the Blood Bowl starter for Christmas and I knew I needed an ogre. I instantly ordered an ogre body from ebay without waiting for GW to announce making a new ogre (I'd rather have one I made anyway; it's more special haha).

Anyway to match the box set guys, I needed to take the bald ogre head, carve off his Mongolian-esque moustache and add a helmet with wings. I took those red wings from an Aquila that was mounted to the back of a Space Hulk terminator. The rest is plasticard cut to fit. I toyed with adding more to his grill but it took away from the face. Also he's an ogre; how much protection does he need?

Now that screaming antelope armour got a huge buff, someday we're likely to make it! (though not for a while, we have many expansions to get through and need to get some spidering done).

Since the guy also has a spear which helps with traps, I figured he may need a shield, though maybe not always so I magnetized it. I also greenstuffed his shoulder joints so that he didn't look like a pose-able action figure. You can see on the last photo there's not even a visible magnet!

I really wanted my dung ball for the dung beetle to be unique and the original model was way too smooth. So I greenstuffed the seam between the two halves and then added a bunch of textured paint to make it lumpy. You can see it drying out here. Then I'll need to paint a bunch of browns on it for gross effect.
